I would Love to join this Years Hatch-a-long! I what I could get out of my old retiring girls, I have a mixed group under the only surviving purebred Mottled Java Roo. This should be interesting.
I have a an olive egger who still occasionally lays eggs like these but the top of the egg is a rough bumpy texture (Olive Green), the bottom was smooth & a different shade of green.
